chance. However, the probability of a living creature being formed by
coincidence is less than the probability of the Eiffel Tower being formed in
the same manner, because even the simplest living cell is more sophisticated

How is it possible to think that the balance in the world came about by
coincidence when the extraordinary harmony of nature is observable even
with the naked eye? It is the most unreasonable claim to say that the
universe, each point of which suggests the existence of its Creator, has come

Therefore, there should be an originator of the balance visible everywhere
from our body to the farthest corners of the inconceivably vast universe. So,

Religion teaches us the identity of our Creator Whose existence we

beautiful work of art. Despite the fact that they face numerous originals of
the natural world he painted the moment they turn around, they still
disregard the existence of Allah, Who is the only owner of all these beauties.

Even if one of us had to live in a room from the time he was born, countless
pieces of evidence in this room alone would be enough for him to grasp the
existence of Allah.
The human body so overflows with evidence that it could not be
contained in many multi-volumed encyclopaedias. Giving only a few minutes
